At the border with Romania, traffic is heavy at the border checkpoints Kardam, Durankulak, Oryahovo, and VIdin for exiting trucks.

In addition to Ruse border checkpoint, drivers in the region can also go through the Silistra , Kardam , Durankulak, Kaynardzha and Krushari border checkpoints. The last two are open every day from 8 am to 8 pm, bu do not allow for trucks.

On the border with Greece, traffic at the Kulata checkpoint is heavy for exiting at trucks. In connection with the significantly increased crossings of  large number of Romanian tourists traveling to and from Greece through the Kulata and Makaza border checkpoints, the Border Police recommends the use of alternative checkpoints on the Bulgarian-Greek border, which are less busy and allow faster passage.
